A 2017 prospect that emerged this spring is Mesa Mountain View High School's 6-foot-8 rising junior forward Curtis Hodges. While an almost unknown basketball prospect before the spring, Hodges has emerged this spring with numerous strong performances on the club circuit. As a result, Hodges reeled in his first scholarship offer.
Hodges has been widely recognized throughout the state of Arizona as a serious football prospect - already receiving serious division-I interest as a wide receiver for the Mesa Mountain View football team. But Hodges is 6-8 in heigth and looks much more the part of a serious basketball prospect and not as a football prospect.
Hodges is a long and very athletic post prospect that is just realizing his true potential as a player. He still is very raw offensively and needs a lot of work to develop into the player that he will become over time, but what better coach to develop him over time than Mountain View HS head coach Gary Ernst - Arizona's winningest high school coach ever and a true developer of talent.
Hodges has the potential to develop into another serious prospect for the Mesa Mountain View program, and become one of the better overall prospects in Arizona's very loaded 2017 class of prospects.
Here is a highlight video of this young prospect, that is still merely 15 years of age . . .
